HALLE BERRY TO RECEIVE LEADERSHIP AWARD: The Hollywood Reporter to honor actress at its annual Women in Entertainment breakfast.

Halle Berry will be honored at The Hollywood Reporter's 18th annual
Women in Entertainment breakfast presented by Lifetime.

The Oscar winner will
receive the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, which recognizes
recipients for trailblazing within the industry and for generosity in
giving back to the community at large. Previous beneficiaries include
Barbara Walters, Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster and Glenn Close.

Hilary Swank and Eva
Longoria Parker will also participate in the Dec. 4 breakfast at the
Beverly Hills Hotel. The event is held annually in conjunction with the
publication of THR's "Power 100: Women in Entertainment" special issue,
which highlights the top 100 women in the motion picture and television
industries.

"The complex role that
Halle Berry plays in life as a successful, versatile entertainment
professional who is committed to furthering the well-being of others,
especially minorities, is as inspiring as are her film roles," THR
editor Elizabeth Guider said. "The recognition is also wonderfully
fitting in a year in which diversity has been embraced and rewarded at
the highest levels of our government and culture."

Berry, the first
African-American woman to win the best actress Oscar, is the national
spokesperson for the Jenesse Center, a nonprofit that provides support
to heal families victimized by domestic violence.

Swank, a two-time
Oscar-winning best actress, will deliver the keynote remarks at the
breakfast. Multiple award-winner Longoria Parker will present at the
event.
